目的：暴力之间的关系。在1995年5月1日至2000年4月30日的五年期间，对英格兰和威尔士的相关伤害和潜在风险因素进行了调查。方法：参考同期来自58个急诊科（EDs）的暴力伤害数据，研究了英格兰和威尔士所有10个经济区有关酒精价格、青年实际收入、财富、种族密度、重大体育赛事日期和季节性的记录。使用面板估计和多级建模来评估变量之间的关联。结果：总体而言，在五年内确定了353,443例与暴力有关的急症室就诊。高区域暴力相关伤害率与以啤酒价格衡量的低酒精实际价格相关。在夏季和重大体育赛事期间，暴力发生率更高。结论：暴力伤害风险与酒精价格密切相关。因此，啤酒价格上涨应该会减少暴力伤害。在夏季和重大体育赛事期间，应加强减少伤害的努力。(C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
Objectives: Relationships between violence.-related injury and potential risk factors in England and Wales were investigated over a five-year period, 1st May 1995 to 30th April 2000.Methods: Records from all 10 economic regions of England and Wales relating to price of alcohol, youth real income, wealth, ethnic density, dates of major sporting events and seasonality were studied with reference to violent injury data derived from 58 Emergency Departments (EDs) over the same period. Panel estimation and multi-level modelling was used to evaluate associations between variables.Results: Overall, 353,443 violence-related A&E attendances were identified over the five-year period. High regional violence-related injury rates correlated with low real price of alcohol as measured by price of beer. Rates of violence were higher during summer months and on days of major sporting events.Conclusions: Risk of injury in violence was closely linked to alcohol price. Beer price rises should therefore reduce violent injury. Injury reduction efforts should be intensified during the summer and on days of major sports events. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
